ChitChat Book Club 2027

Read these books that tell of the settlement and history of the United States in fiction and non-fiction. Start with the history from a different point of view and continue through the decades across the country as the population moves west. Then read titles that showcase the United State's participation in wars, both in the US and across the globe. Join the discussion each month on the second Thursday at 1 pm. Books will be brought into the library for easy check out.
